Matroid Duality From Topological Duality In Surfaces Of Nonnegative Euler Characteristic, Dan Slilaty Sep 2002

Matroid Duality From Topological Duality In Surfaces Of Nonnegative Euler Characteristic, Dan Slilaty

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

Let G be a connected graph that is 2-cell embedded in a surface S, and let G* be its topological dual graph. We will define and discuss several matroids whose element set is E(G), for S homeomorphic to the plane, projective plane, or torus. We will also state and prove old and new results of the type that the dual matroid of G is the matroid of the topological dual G*.


Parameter Identification For Semiconductor Diodes By Lbic Imaging, Weifu Fang, Kazufumi Ito, David A. Redfern Jul 2002

Parameter Identification For Semiconductor Diodes By Lbic Imaging, Weifu Fang, Kazufumi Ito, David A. Redfern

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

Laser-beam-induced-current (LBIC) imaging is a nondestructive technique used for the characterization of the electrical structure within a semiconductor. In this paper a model is formulated for this technique using the standard drift-diffusion model, and, subsequently, an approximate version and its dual are derived for the study of the inverse problem. The formulation is then applied to a cross-sectional model for n-on-p devices of finite depth to study in detail the relation between the LBIC images and the device parameters. Numerical methods are developed for the simulation of the LBIC image of a diode as well as for the identification of …


On The Existence Of Multiple Positive Solutions For A Semilinear Problem In Exterior Domains, Yinbin Deng, Yi Li May 2002

On The Existence Of Multiple Positive Solutions For A Semilinear Problem In Exterior Domains, Yinbin Deng, Yi Li

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

In this paper, we study the existence and nonexistence of multiple positive solutions for problem where Ω=N\ω is an exterior domain in N, ωN is a bounded domain with smooth boundary, and N>2. μ⩾0, p>1 are some given constants. K(x) satisfies: K(x)∈Cαloc(Ω) and ∃C, ϵ, M>0 such that |K(x)|⩽C |x|l for any |x|⩾M, with l⩽ −2−ϵ. Some existence and …


On The Regularity Of Solutions To Fully Nonlinear Elliptic Equations Via The Liouville Property, Qingbo Huang Jan 2002

On The Regularity Of Solutions To Fully Nonlinear Elliptic Equations Via The Liouville Property, Qingbo Huang

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

We show that any C1,1 solution to the uniformly elliptic equation F(D2u) = 0 must belong to C2,α, if the equation has the Liouville property.


Domain Functionals And Exit Times For Brownian Motion, Chaocheng Huang, David Miller Jan 2002

Domain Functionals And Exit Times For Brownian Motion, Chaocheng Huang, David Miller

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

Two domain functionals describing the averaged expectation of exit times and averaged variance of exit times of Brownian motion from a domain, respectively, are studied.
